00:00:00.213 --> 00:00:01.590
- (sighs) Y'all,
(light music)

2
00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:04.140
it's hot outside, which
means for natural girlies,

3
00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:06.660
silk press season is officially over.

4
00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:08.310
That press is not going to hold up

5
00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:10.140
for more than a few days in this heat.

6
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:11.700
The worst part is trying to figure out

7
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:13.620
what to do with kind-of-straight hair.

8
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.570
Luckily, I have a hack
for what to do with it,

9
00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:16.467
and all you need is a pack

10
00:00:16.467 --> 00:00:19.320
of curly crochet hair and a hair tie.

11
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.090
Slick down your hair with
the gel of your choice

12
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:22.560
and top it off with some wrapping foam

13
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:23.710
to keep down the frizz.

14
00:00:26.869 --> 00:00:30.003
Brush it in well,

15
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.470
tie your hair into a small bun or braid,

16
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:35.490
then wrap your hair down

17
00:00:35.490 --> 00:00:37.290
with something you know will keep it flat.

18
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:38.610
Now, while your hair sets,

19
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:40.830
grab a hair tie and the crochet hair.

20
00:00:40.830 --> 00:00:42.630
Take one lock at a time and tie it

21
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:44.700
in a knot onto the hair tie.

22
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:46.110
Here's another example.

23
00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:48.900
Take the hair, tie it in
a knot, and after a while

24
00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:50.460
it should look like this.

25
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.580
The more hair you use, the
thicker your ponytail will be.

26
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:55.950
After you've added as
much hair as you desire,

27
00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.500
try your best to find the
opening of that hair tie

28
00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:00.270
and then tie it around your bun.

29
00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:02.070
The hair should cover it completely.

30
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:08.670
Finally, style time.

31
00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:10.050
If you like your curls defined,

32
00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:13.830
leave it as is or you're
like me and like some volume,

33
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:15.870
separate the curls into thinner strands.

34
00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:17.760
You can also trim some
of the pieces of hair

35
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.260
to make sure one side isn't
longer than the other.

36
00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:23.520
Once it's the way you
like it, unwrap your hair

37
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.270
and check out the finished product.
